The proposed project will examine changes in gene expression of different cell subsets that was purified from human peripheral blood. Cytapheresis packs were collected from volunteers and cells fractioned by a combination of magnetic bead purification and flow cytometry. RNA extracts will be prepared at the NIA and provided to Novogene facility for library preparation and sequencing.
Novogene will carry out deep sequencing using Illumina Novaseq 6000 PE150. The contractor will provide the government with FASTQ files of the data for computational analyses at NIA.
